<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
a) It allows electrons to flow from the anode to the cathode.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>Voltaic cell is an electrochemical cell in which a spontaneous chemical reaction produces the flow of electrons</u></em>.
- Electrons are produced by the oxidation reaction occurring at the anode. Electrons flow through the conducting wire from the anode to the cathode. At the cathode these electrons are used to reduce copper(II) ions to copper atoms.
- <em><u>A conducting wire or a wire play connects the two electrodes allowing electrons to flow from the anode to the cathode</u></em>.
H₂SO₄ + Ba(OH)₂ -----> BaSO₄ + 2H₂O
Coefficient for sulfuric acid: 1
Answer:
c. Compound 2 is more acidic because its conjugate base is more resonance stabilized
Explanation:
You haven't told us what the compounds are, so let's assume that the formula of Compound 1 is HCOCH₂OH and that of Compound 2 is CH₃COOH.
The conjugate base of 2 is CH₃COO⁻. It has two important resonance contributors, and the negative charge is evenly distributed between the two oxygen atoms.
CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇌ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺
The stabilization of the conjugate base pulls the position of equilibrium to the right, so the compound is more acidic than 1.
